i wonder if bettman knew of the impending labor stoppage and intervened to make sure the bigger market team won. lol.

Wow I hope not. Although on the other hand, imagine you're a Kings fan. You get to see your team go on a run like that, win the Cup, and then...not raise a banner at home for what could be over a year. Reminds me of Tampa Bay...

reminds me exactly of tampa bay, good reference. another team that, for all intents and purposes, plays in a non-hockey town, willed its way to a cup, only to officially recognize it 18 months later.

Hey, what's your guys opinion on the news Kovy may stay in Russia? Is there truth to it? I apologize if this is in another thread I just read the KHL stuff and saw Kovy as the big name and wanted to hear what's being said...

“Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth of the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.”

heard about it. I fully expect him to be back in time for Training Camp. Its scary for him to be the only one there but in reality his deal is worth too much and I don't think the NHL would validate that...

Yea i think he comes back. I just think he really likes the attention he gets from news like this. I've read somewhere that the team he is playing for is really laying down the red carpet and trying to get him to stay. I think he likes the attention because he already had the Devils do it for him once.

Anyway...you guys see a trade coming up within the next three weeks?

if u mean a trade with kovalchuk, I don't see one coming. He does have trade value but I don't know how we can even move the contract. Even with the controversies we have had trying to get him to sign, the slump, and this, he should be the captain of this team even though it sounds funny
